Arriving at the port

Samarai Island has no dedicated cruise terminal. Visiting cruise vessels usually anchor offshore and bring passengers to the island by tender.

The island is quite small and has no conventional “downtown” district. Its community and attractions lie close to the main tender landing.

Samarai Island is celebrated for its historical importance and picturesque scenery. Explore evidence of its colonial past, including old buildings and structures dating from the early 20th century

Beautiful, pristine beaches surround the island, offering swimming, snorkelling or simple relaxation on the sand.
